The Sheila Godfrey Skin Therapy Centre

Intensed Pulsed Light

Intense Pulsed Light, a step beyond lasers, works effectively and safely on most skin types and virtually all hair colours with the exception of white hair and hair that is lighter in colour than the skin. It is more versatile than a laser.

The flexibility of the Lynton Lasers Lumina settings means that treatment can be tailored to suit the specific needs of the individual.

During a treatment session it is possible to remove hair from large areas such as the back, arms and legs with very little discomfort. The upper lip can be treated in seconds removing far more hair in a session than is possible with electrolysis.

The treatment works by introducing controlled pulses of light into the follicle. The pigment in the hair absorbs the Light, which results in an increased temperature within the follicle. This in turn results in the destruction of the lower follicle. The light is introduced in pulses to gradually build up the heat within the follicle without over heating the surface of the skin.

During a course of Intense Pulsed Light treatment it is anticipated that pigmented hair growth will be reduced by up to 75- 90 % on a long term basis. The treatment will not be effective on non-pigmented hair, very fine hair, white hair or hair that is lighter in colour than the skin.

Who has treatment?• Both sexes but mainly women• Age range: From early teens to 80+
